Sweet Summertime

I'm happy to say, I have spent the last week at Horseshoe Bay, Texas on lake LBJ. It has been so relaxing spending most of my days reading, laying out, shopping and spending time with my family. Although it rained till about 3 o'clock most days, we managed to go into town to shop and eat great meals at places like the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls. May 28th was my dad and sister, Carly's birthday so I made Champagne Punch for us to drink on the dock. I got this recipe from Martha Stewart, and it is a perfect, refreshing cocktail to drink by the lake. On our way to the lake, we stopped in Llano at some cute, antique shops. I was hoping the outdoor table I wanted last time was still there, but it had been purchased in the mean time. However, I found a great lamp for my new living area, a set of some great glasses and some vintage, Beatles records. While being at the lake, it made me think of the things I want to do for myself this summer. Everyone is so busy nowadays, it's important to get back to the basics and to remember the things that make us happy. I have started my own bucket list for the summer months. What's on your bucket list this summer?
